God’s ways are often surprising.
In the eyes of many in Jesus’ day, shepherds were unclean, uncouth, and unsophisticated ‘bogans’, to use an Australian slang. By the social standards of the time, they were uniquely unqualified to be the first to receive such monumental news, and to share it with others.
Yet it was to these humble shepherds that the angel appeared, heralding our Lord and Saviour’s arrival in Bethlehem.

In the Bible, the story of the wedding banquet in Cana gives us a glimpse of the extraordinary, lavish generosity of God. After all, how much would 600 litres of 1986 Grange Hermitage be worth at current market prices?

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
